State Highway 352 as Main Street in Mesquite

State Highway 352 (SH 352) is a Texas state highway running from Dallas east through Mesquite before finally ending in Sunnyvale. The route mainly runs along Scyene Rd. The highway was designated on October 6, 1943 from U.S. Highway 80 in Mesquite west to U.S. Highway 175 southeast of Dallas, replacing part of SH 183 when it was relocated to the north, and was extended into Dallas on February 17, 1964 when US 175 was relocated to the west. On June 25, 1991, the section of SH 352 from I-30 to the old route of US 80 was cancelled and removed from the state highway system.

Part of State Highway 352 runs in front of the State Fair of Texas, over a stretch named Robert B. Cullum Boulevard.

Route description

SH 352 begins where Parry Avenue changes into Robert B. Cullum Boulevard at 1st and 2nd Avenues, a pair of one-way streets that give the highway a connection to I-30. SH 352 travels in a southeastern direction along Robert B. Cullum Boulevard on the southwestern edge of the State Fair of Texas. The highway makes a sharp turn into a more direct eastern direction near 2nd Avenue, where the road name changes to Scyene Road. SH 352 crosses over White Rock Creek and travels through a less densely populated area of the city in the Parkdale neighborhood. Near McNeil Street, the highway turns northeast onto Scyene Circle, a newer routing of SH 352, then turns back east onto Scyene Road near Pleasant Drive; the two roads, Scyene Circle and Scyene Road, provide access between SH 352 and Loop 12 (Bucker Boulevard). SH 352 runs through eastern Dallas then enters into Mesquite at the intersection with Sam Houston Road.

Entering Mesquite, SH 352 passes near West Mesquite High School and Mesquite Memorial Stadium. Just east of Peachtree Road, the highway splits into a pair of one-way streets, with eastbound traffic traveling along Military Parkway and westbound on Scyene Road. SH 352 intersects I-635 (Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway) then travels through a less developed part of Mesquite with industrial areas until reaching Carmack Street. At Carmack Street, the eastbound round changes names to Davis Street while serving as the western terminus for Main Street, which carries westbound traffic. The highway enters Old Town Mesquite and travels through the town square where it meets Galloway Avenue and Belt Line Road. Leaving the downtown area, SH 352 travels along the northern boundaries of Mesquite High School and E. H. Hanby Stadium.

At Pioneer Road, the highway turns northeast while the Davis/Main Street roadway continues east as East Glen Boulevard. SH 352 travels through a rural area of Mesquite then enters Sunnyvale near Long Creek Road. In Sunnyvale, the highway's name becomes South Collins Road and the route becomes more developed with commercial areas and restaurants. SH 352 passes Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Sunnyvale before ending at US 80 with the road continuing as North Collins Road.

History

SH 352 was designated in 1943 from US 80 east of Mesquite to US 175 near Fair Park in Dallas, replacing a section of SH 183. In 1964, the highway was extended further into Dallas to US 80 in Deep Ellum over the old routing of US 175 through Fair Park when that highway was re-routed along the C. F. Hawn Freeway. The western terminus of SH 352 was truncated to I-30 in 1991, removing the section of highway along 1st and 2nd Avenues.

Major junctions

The entire route is in Dallas County.

U.S. Route 80 or U.S. Highway 80 (US 80) is a major east–west United States Numbered Highway in the Southern United States, much of which was once part of the early auto trail known as the Dixie Overland Highway. As the "0" in the route number indicates, it was originally a cross-country route, from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. Its original western terminus was at Historic US 101 in San Diego, California. However, the entire segment west of Dallas, Texas, has been decommissioned in favor of various Interstate Highways and state highways. Currently, the highway's western terminus is at an interchange with Interstate 30 (I-30) on the Dallas–Mesquite city line. Its eastern terminus is in Tybee Island, Georgia near the Atlantic Ocean. Between Jonesville, Texas and Kewanee, Mississippi, US 80 runs parallel to or concurrently with Interstate 20. It also currently runs through Dallas, Texas; Shreveport, Louisiana; Jackson, Mississippi; Montgomery, Alabama; Columbus, Georgia; Macon, Georgia; and Savannah, Georgia.

Interstate 635 (I-635) is a 37-mile-long (60 km) partial loop around Dallas, Texas, in the United States between I-20 in Balch Springs and SH 121 at the north entrance of the DFW Airport in Grapevine. It intersects I-35E at exits 27B and 27C but does not connect with I-35W. I-635 and a part of I-20 are collectively designated as the Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway; known locally as the LBJ Freeway, or simply LBJ. The roadway is named after Lyndon B. Johnson, the former U.S. senator from Texas and the 37th vice-president and 36th president of the U.S. Where I-635 ends at I-20, I-20 continues the LBJ Freeway designation heading west. Since the portion of I-20 between Spur 408 to I-635 retains the same names as I-635, the two highways are considered three-quarters of the beltway around Dallas. Together with Spur 408, a portion of Loop 12, and a portion of I-35E, I-635 and I-20 complete the beltway.

Interstate business routes are roads connecting a central or commercial district of a city or town with an Interstate bypass. These roads typically follow along local streets often along a former U.S. Route or state highway that had been replaced by an Interstate.
